Answer:

a) 220

b) 10

c) 4.55% probability that the selected group will consist of all women.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the people are selected is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

a. In how many ways can three people be selected from this group of twelve?

C_{12,3} = \frac{12!}{3!(12-3)!} = 220

b. In how many ways can three women be selected from the five women?

Three women, from a set of 5. So

C_{5,3} = \frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} = 10

c. Find the probability that the selected group will consist of all women.

Desired outcomes:

3 women from a set of 4. So

D = C_{5,3} = \frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} = 10

Total outcomes:

3 people, from a set of 12. So

T = C_{12,3} = \frac{12!}{3!(12-3)!} = 220

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{10}{220} = 0.0455

4.55% probability that the selected group will consist of all women.

Find the next number in the pattern: 3 5 11 6 7 5 14 8 12 ? Explain why
stepan [7]

Answer:

5–3 = 2

8–5 = 3

12–8 = 4

17–12 = 5

x-17 should be 6, hence x = 6+17 = 23.

Which definite integral approximation formula is this: the integral from a to b of f(x)dx ≈ (b-a)/n * [<img src="https://tex.z-d
Stella [2.4K]

The answer is most likely A.

The integration interval [<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>] is split up into <em>n</em> subintervals of equal length (so each subinterval has width (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em>, same as the coefficient of the sum of <em>y</em> terms) and approximated by the area of <em>n</em> rectangles with base (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em> and height <em>y</em>.

<em>n</em> subintervals require <em>n</em> + 1 points, with

<em>x</em>₀ = <em>a</em>

<em>x</em>₁ = <em>a</em> + (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em>

<em>x</em>₂ = <em>a</em> + 2(<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em>

and so on up to the last point <em>x</em> = <em>b</em>. The right endpoints are <em>x</em>₁, <em>x</em>₂, … etc. and the height of each rectangle are the corresponding <em>y </em>'s at these endpoints. Then you get the formula as given in the photo.

• "Average rate of change" isn't really relevant here. The AROC of a function <em>G(x)</em> continuous* over an interval [<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>] is equal to the slope of the secant line through <em>x</em> = <em>a</em> and <em>x</em> = <em>b</em>, i.e. the value of the difference quotient

(<em>G(b)</em> - <em>G(a)</em> ) / (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)

If <em>G(x)</em> happens to be the antiderivative of a function <em>g(x)</em>, then this is the same as the average value of <em>g(x)</em> on the same interval,

g_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{G(b)-G(a)}{b-a}=\dfrac1{b-a}\displaystyle\int_a^b g(x)\,\mathrm dx

(* I'm actually not totally sure that continuity is necessary for the AROC to exist; I've asked this question before without getting a particularly satisfying answer.)

• "Trapezoidal rule" doesn't apply here. Split up [<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>] into <em>n</em> subintervals of equal width (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em>. Over the first subinterval, the area of a trapezoid with "bases" <em>y</em>₀ and <em>y</em>₁ and "height" (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em> is

(<em>y</em>₀ + <em>y</em>₁) (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em>

but <em>y</em>₀ is clearly missing in the sum, and also the next term in the sum would be

(<em>y</em>₁ + <em>y</em>₂) (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em>

the sum of these two areas would reduce to

(<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em> = (<em>y</em>₀ + <u>2</u> <em>y</em>₁ + <em>y</em>₂)

which would mean all the terms in-between would need to be doubled as well to get

\displaystyle\int_a^b f(x)\,\mathrm dx\approx\frac{b-a}n\left(y_0+2y_1+2y_2+\cdots+2y_{n-1}+y_n\right)

If you are going 200 miles per hour how much are you going per minute
Lapatulllka [165]

1 hour has 60 minutes.

Divide miles per hour by 60 to get miles per minute:

200 / 60 = 3.33 ( 3 1/3 ) miles per minute.

Y=3/8x−4 write in standard form
Naddik [55]
Answer:

y=3/8x-4
Move the expression to the left
y-3/8x=-4
Multiply both sides by 8
8y-3x=-32
Reorder the terms
-3x+8y=-32
Change the signs and standard form is...
3x-8y=32
